12 years ago TODAY...

We were officially outnumbered!
But with these three cute kids, all we really considered ourselves was blessed.

Grayson was born on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Jordan Valley Hospital in West Jordan Utah. I felt my first contraction at about 10:30 in the morning and by 5:30 in the afternoon I was holding a little pink bundle of joy with strawberry blonde hair and a clogged tear duct. You were a healthy, happy baby and you tolerated two older siblings and two parents that just wanted to love on you all the time.


You have always been sweet and oh, so kissable


 Today Grayson is a handsome, athletic, blonde haired, blue eyed, buff, soccer playing, back flipping twelve year old. He is an obedient and loving son, a well-behaved and hard-working student, and an all around amazing kid! To have him in our family is such a blessing. I can't imagine a life without Gray in it making me smile. We love you so much Grayson Kent Schmalz, and Happy Birthday to you, baby boy! Okay, you aren't a baby...this is a big day for you and your dad and I are so proud of the young man you are and the choices you are making in your life. But...you will always be my baby boy anyway!

Happy Birthday Gray! When I think of you, the first thing that comes to mind is your smile. Even as a baby, when you smiled I had no choice - I had to smile back.
